'Katon: Haijingakure no Jutsu' (Fire Style: Hiding in Ash Jutsu)
WHOOOOOSH
Akira expels a burning ash cloud which cover the entire fighting area
'I held back so that the ashes don't burn anyone. It is still rather hot, though.'
The head melts Todoroki's ice. Team Todoroki covers themselves with a cloth that Yaoyorozu created. Todoroki looks in Akira's direction.
"He vanished…" (Todoroki)
"How about I shock everyone?"
"No, Ashes conduct electricity; we will all be caught in it!" (Yaoyorozu)
"What is this?! The entire fighting zone is covered with an ash cloud! We can't see anything in it. Only 3 minutes left!" (Mic)
On Izuku's side
"We can't see anything here! Deku-kun can't you do something about it?" (Uraraka)
"No, ashes are heavier than dust; I can't blow it away." (Izuku)
"Indeed. But Midoriya, since you said to us that Akira trained you during these two weeks, do you know his weakness?" (Tokoyami)
"That's the tricky part in this. His greatest strength is his lack of apparent weakness. With his techniques, he can counter nearly anything we throw at him. The only way to get him is…" (Izuku)
"Taking him off guard, but with his sensory abilities, he sees most attacks coming." (Tokoyami)
"Then what do we do? He easily countered Dark Shadow's and Bakugo-kun's attack at the same time, he is too strong for us!" (Uraraka)
"We don't have time to think; first we need to locate him."; (Izuku)
On Todoroki's side
"This is tricky…" (Todoroki)
"Todoroki-san, we can't see anything right now, and we don't know where Akira-san is. Furthermore, we now have the confirmation that he can manipulate fire so he can counter your ice. As I have seen at the USJ, he can also manipulate lighting, which potentially makes him immune to Kaminari, and he is probably fast enough to handle Ida." (Yaoyorozu)
The four of them takes a time to think when Ida resolve himself
"Only one minute left; who would have thought that only one person could fend off all the other teams alone?" (Mic)
"Everyone, I may have a way, but I can use it only once. I will be useless after that." (Ida)
"Are you sure about it?" (Todoroki)
"30 seconds left!" (Mic)
The Ash cloud began to dissipate, revealing Akira and his clone's figure. Akira is standing before Team Todoroki.
"Now what will you do, Todoroki? I don't think you have the time to take my headband…"
"15 seconds left!" (Mic)
"No! We can take it from you!" (Ida)
Ida's engine began to turn on at maximum power and flames comes out of his calves
"Recipro Burst!"
Ida makes his team move at an incredible speed, which creates a shockwave behind him, and most people wouldn't be able to follow. Their opponent, however, isn't ordinary. Todoroki extends his hand toward Akira's headband, but the former bends his upper body backward. Todoroki's arm passed over his head.
Team Todoroki stops 15 meters behind Akira. Yaoyorozu and Kaminari are still in dazes. They couldn't believe that Ida could be this fast. Ida himself and Todoroki, however, are profusely sweating.
"Impossible…" (Ida)
"That was a good move, Ida…" (Akira)
them for looking toward Akira, Kaminari and Yaoyorozu couldn't believe it. The 10 mil headband is still on his head.
"But you have the same problem as Todoroki. You're too straightforward and easy to read."
'This isn't just Ida-san being easy to read. Akira-san can actually keep up wit Ida-san in speed' (Yaoyorozu)
"Time's UP!" (Mic)
Poof
'Mm? Bakugo, what are you doing on the ground?' (Akira)
Cheers resound around the stadium
"The Human cavalry event is over!"
~POV: Akira~
'That was a fun match. It has been a while since I had this much fun.'
I dismount and disperse my clones
'Now I'm curious to see the rankings.'
1. Akira
2. Team Todoroki
3. Team Midoriya
4. Team Bakugo
5. Team Shinso
"These teams are qualified for the next event! Now we will mark a pause for lunch."
'I'm hungry from all this.'
All the students except Izuku, Todoroki and Bakugo are now at the cafeteria.
'Guess they are having their little conversation'
After Lunch
"We are back for the last event! But first! Consolation prize! It remains a festival, so we planned some activities where everyone can participate! We even have pom-pom girls from the United-States here!" (Mic)
The first-year students entered the arena, and Eraser head and Mic noticed something strange.
"What's that?"
He noticed the 1-A girls in pom-pom girls outfit. The other first year also looks at them in awe.
"What's this class A is this a little extra?"
Kaminari and Mineta nod at each other with thumbs up.
"Mineta-san Kaminari-san you tricked us?!"
Yaoyorozu is visibly made at them and looks at them with anger. Something that no one expected happened next.
GRAB…GRAB
I grab Mineta and Kaminari's ankles
""Eh?!"" Even the girls and other first years are startled.
'Doton: Shinjū Zanshu no Jutsu' (Earth Style: Headhunter Jutsu)
""What the Hell?!"" (Mineta and Kaminari)
I drag the two perverts into the ground with just their heads still out and got out myself.
""WHY?!"" (Pervs)
I look down at them with an accusing look.
"That's your punishment for tricking the girls. Be grateful I didn't do any more than that, got it?"
"…"
'Good'
I look at the girls
"Now time to go for the last event."
"Thanks Akira." (Jiro)
"R-right…" (Akira)
I won't lie, these outfits look good…
"Eraser, what are your students doing?" (Mic)
"Don't mind it, the class representative is knocking some sense into some dissidents." (Aizawa)
"Alright…"(Mic)
After Midnight presentation and the whole drama (author's notes: I don't have the heart to write it.)
"Here are the result of the draw"
1 Shinso VS Midoriya
2. Todoroki VS Sero
3. Shiozaki VS Kaminari
4. Ida vs Hatsume
5. Uchiha VS Ashido
6. Tokoyami VS Yaoyorozu
7. Tetsutetsu VS Kirshima
8. Uraraka VS Bakugo
""You again?!"" (Quirk clones)
"Why is my luck so bad?"
Mina seems really down, knowing that I'm her opponent.
"I'm sorry, Mina." (Akira)
"You better be!" (Mina)
"I'm pretty sure that whoever fights him is unlucky, though." (Jiro)
'You're not wrong there.'
"Now we leave the tournament for a moment and enjoy the mini-games!"
Good, I will take advantage of this break because I need to see someone. I made my way toward the teacher's box, and fortunately, I found the one I needed.
"Toshinori." I call All Might by his name to not attract attention and reveal his secret.
"You know, Uchiha-shōnen, perhaps you should address me with a bit more respect."
"I don't care; I prefer to treat you as an equal, thanks to your usual friendly behavior."
"Forget I said that… So what is it?"
"Can we talk in private during this break? It's about the thing from the last lesson." I said lesson, but we both knew that the subject was Midoriya and the OFA.
"Come with me."
All Might guided me through the stadium until we reached an empty break room. We enter and sit on the sofas facing each other. All Might prepares tea for some reason.
"I'm relived to see that Young Midoriya can now effectively use the OFA without injuring himself too much."
"Yes. He does a good job, considering that the OFA is harder to master than when you got it. You will be surpassed pretty soon, I tell you. He can only use 4% currently, but if I'm right, by the end of the year he will be able to use 20%." (I'm talking about the real year, not the school year.)
"I'm relived… I know, I can't assume my role as the Symbol of Peace for much longer."
"Indeed, thanks to the seal, it takes longer for the embers to weaken, but your activity time and power shrinks day by day. All for One is still out there, meaning that a confrontation with him is inevitable."
…
The room is early silent when I mention this man.
"So, what did you want to ask originally?"
Right, I'm here for that.
"Yes, do you perhaps have something that contains the DNA of the OFA's previous holders? Any body parts can do, be it a hair, a sample of blood… anything like this."
All Might is intrigued by my question and raises an eyebrow.
"Why do you ask for such a thing? I could give you my DNA."
"No, I need it from a previous holder who is now deceased. There is something I need to confirm, and it's about OFA's nature as a quirk. I can't tell you now since it is only suspicion, but it is something we need to know."
…
All Might thinks for a moment and then speaks again
"Alright… I may be able to procure something like this."
Since I said it is something WE have to know, he agrees without too much
"Thank you… Also, one last thing, I suppose that you and Nezu don't trust me entirely, right?"
…
"You're right, we can't help but be wary since you know so much, and with your unknown powers, we don't have much information and can't predict what you can do."
That's completely rational
"It's fine; I understand my position in all this. I won't tell you everything, but I can assure you that my intent to become a hero and help you and Izuku is genuine. You can count on me if needed. I won't tell you all I can do presently, but you will know in due time. I'm probably one of your most important allies right now."
"I will talk about it with principal about it."
The tournament will begin in a few minutes now, so we need to go
"One last thing. We do agree that we need to KILL AFO, right?"
…
"You fought him in the past, All Might. I'm certain that you know more than me that he is too dangerous to be kept alive. As much as we are Heroes, even Tartarus won't be enough to lock him up. We don't really have any other option."
"As a teacher and hero myself, I would have told you not to kill. But it is also true that for heroes, although extremely rare, there are situations when we can make use of lethal force and kill."
We nodded at each other and made our way back to the stadium.
